[![builds.sr.ht status](https://builds.sr.ht/~emersion/soju/commits/master.svg)](https://builds.sr.ht/~emersion/soju/commits/master?)
soju is a user-friendly IRC bouncer. soju connects to upstream IRC servers on
behalf of the user to provide extra functionality. soju supports many features
such as multiple users, numerous [IRCv3] extensions, chat history playback and
detached channels. It is well-suited for both small and large deployments.
## Usage
* [Getting started]
* [Man page]
## Building and installing
Dependencies:
- Go
- BSD or GNU make
- a C89 compiler (optional, for SQLite)
- scdoc (optional, for man pages)
For end users, a `Makefile` is provided:
make
sudo make install
For development, you can use `go run ./cmd/soju` as usual.
To link with the system libsqlite3, set `GOFLAGS="-tags=libsqlite3"`. To disable
SQLite support, set `GOFLAGS="-tags=nosqlite"`. To use an alternative SQLite
library that does not require CGO, set `GOFLAGS="-tags=moderncsqlite"`. To
build with PAM authentication support, set `GOFLAGS="-tags=pam"`.
